The human courtship ritual..

Here's a bit of fun for Friday, think about the kinds of things that a Woman or a Man should *not* do on a first "internet" date (or any kind of date really); apparently, according to the experts here is a list of mistakes that Women make..

They talk about cats, self-help books and soap operas; to men, this indicates the beginnings of insanity.

Boast about highly paid jobs and famous friends; this sets an unrealistic bar, men need to impress.

Get drunk and emotional. (I would add that throwing up is frowned on unless its a competition :)

Talk about marriage and babies precipitously; men like to feel that marriage is their idea, even if it's not.

They give mixed messages; if you like a man, say so, if you don’t, politely retreat.

Of course being a married person (or in a stable relationship) you can look at this and laugh (nervously) whilst secretly thinking "I'm glad it's not me!". I'd add a couple more things to this list (hypothetically of course),

Ordering no food and spending the whole meal nicking chips off my plate.
